Rules are rules, I guess. Rather than look for someplace new - if you like your hairdresser so much - why not just make your appts for after 9am? I'm surprised that in 5 yrs you have never had that happen at a 9am appt. Have your appts for 5 years always been later than 9am? When I find a hairdresser that I like, I wouldn't let someone's rules separate us!
I always see women waiting outside of Sam's when I go to pick up my bagels a couple doors away and wondered why - I thought the door was locked! Now I know.
